Acupoint patch for pelvic pain after PID
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a skin patch treatment (acupoint application) placed on specific points of the body to help relieve ongoing pelvic pain from pelvic inflammatory disease. It may be a good option if you have moderate pain and ultrasound findings of tubal thickening or fluid.
